Reviews

Only twice in my life have I experienced a volume of music loud enough to hurt my ears. This night was one of them! The Swing Auditorium was an old airplane hangar that rocked and rolled as long and solidly as any place on the planet. Ironically, an airplane crashed into it and all we have now are the memories and tapes. Praise God for the taping community.
